He played safety at St. Edward High School in Ohio, where he won a Division I state championship and was a first-team all-state selection as a safety. But Michigan might be looking at Kolesar to play the other side of the ball, at wide receiver, like he did over the summer during its camp.

Kolesar does not have a 247Sports composite ranking, but the recruiting website does list him as a three-star prospect and No. 87 in the state of Ohio. He has scholarship offers from Akron, Army, Bowling Green, Holy Cross, Indiana State and Robert Morris.

On his Twitter account, Kolesar claims to have a 4.11 GPA and to have scored a 31 on the ACT, making him a sure-fire candidate to make it into Michigan without football.

His father, John Kolesar, is best known for his big plays against Ohio State. He caught a 77-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Jim Harbaugh in 1985 to seal a victory over the Buckeyes; then, in 1988, he returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 59 yards and caught a 41-yard touchdown pass to give Michigan another win.

Kolesar’s grandfather, Bill, was an offensive tackle on the Michigan football team in the 1950s.
